    Sounds like a primary extraction issue. The bolt should pop the fired case loose from the chamber at the top of the bolt handle lift. Closely examine the primary extraction cam surfaces while working the bolt. If the bolt is not being cammed back at the top of the bolt handle lift you have discovered your problem. Doing a search should turn up a good bit of information regarding this issue.

    The other possibility is your cases are not being adequately resized and the back end of the fired cases are sticking in the chamber. Does the bolt produce a distinct “click” sound at the top of the bolt throw? You may need a collet resizing die like this one - http://www.larrywillis.com/ - to solve your problem. Again, a search will provide additional information.
